    I opened a topps jumbo box of baseball,  What a bust.  Flagship is always a tough rip but no w the prices theyb area charging? No more for me!
    Yeah, it was fun buying some tins and mega boxes, but after my jumbo arrives today im done.
    Got a nice Judge gold/2026, an Ohtani purple Easter egg foil, a couple other cards /10../250.../150.....But im done. 
    Was your autograph worth mentioning?
    Rc auto.  Forgot who but its a $30 card.  Got an extra hit in a patch.  Got a Lindor w a pinstripe and a no name. Also got an topps team ohtani.  I traded that for a red Shai Gilgeous Alexander from rip night.

    Woah woah woahhhhh!  You got a Ohtani Team Variation!  Congrats on a $200 card!

    Purple Egg should fetch you a cool $50 or so also.

    How many you open again?

    I can't stop buying the Easter Eggs. I realize you know more about this hobby than I ever will. But I've done so much research on this whole Series 1, its hysterical.  Haha
    The Easter Eggs are where the good stuff is as far as retail. At least for me. 
    The mega boxes were absolute horse shit! 
    My jumbo was fine. 4 autos? Some other numbered cards, I have no complaints.

    But the Easter tins have been nice to me!

    But yeah, that Ohtani team might be $200 today, but in the last 72 hours all these variant cards prices have been tumbling down. Big time!

    I love the people who obviously bought a case or 2 of this product. They are now on ebay selling lots of 10-20 cards of the so called can't miss rookies. Caglianone, Miz, and Anthony. They spent $1000 on this product and are hoping to recover $60 on selling these rookies. Hahaha 

    Its certainly addicting "ripping" packs. I get it now!

    I also love the folks on ebay who are now selling the entire base set, the whole sha-bang of base cards, for $35-$45. Hahaha 
    They spent $1000.00 to make $35!

    Ive also followed ebay very closely on the selling of all the variants. Its exactly what I thought it would be as far as the "flipping situation".

    7-10 days ago a Caglionone holiday variant, an Easter variant, polka dot card? People asking $40-$70. And getting it. 

    Today you can get the same card for $10 or so.

    So yes, strike when the iron is hot and be first to market. That Ohtani card, the team variation should still stay at $100 or so.

    Pull rate of 1/60 Jumbo and 1/229 Hobby.  Those are tough pulls for a 350 card set.

    I will start buying up some eggs now, lol.  Nice cards you are getting from them!
